Soon the second stage of the Chuunin Exam was completed.
Only forty-seven candidates passed.
It is not clear whether it is luck or fate, but all the representatives of Konoha 12 from the original have passed.
The relatively weak Inuzuki team relied on Akamaru's flair to avoid all the 'high-level' opponents, and ended up defeating some weak team.
Yeruashi couldn't help but chuckle at the thought that this Chuunin Exam was quite similar to the original one.
Naruto, Sasuke, Rock Lee, and the others never ran into each other.
But in the subsequent additional stage of the exam, Konoha 12 was already so unlucky.
Among the remaining forty-seven Genins was a rival of the 'hell level' - Hyuga Hinata, as well as a rival of the 'difficult level' - Haku, and not much inferior to him Naruto and Sasuke.
We can safely say that even with great luck, it will take a certain amount of strength to pass through this stage.
"The next couple...Namikaze Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba.»
Hayate Gekko, the third stage examiner, coughed and said calmly.
Kiba suddenly turned pale after hearing the examiner's words.
Shikamaru Nara and the others standing nearby looked at Kiba piteously, wishing him 'good luck'.
Now Naruto is not the worst student in the class, but the son of the Fourth Hokage and a genius not inferior to Sasuke.
Practically none of the candidates had the slightest desire to face him.
After a short time.
The battered Kiba lay on the ground.
Kakashi, as the chief examiner, stood at the railing of the third floor, watching the progress of the exam below.
He smiled at the scene and turned his head.
"Brother?»
"I also decided to take a look.»
Yeruashi, who had appeared in the corridor at some unknown time, nodded to Kakashi and sauntered over to the railing, looking down at the landing below.
The Chuunin exam continued calmly.
No one noticed Yeruashi's quiet arrival.
After Naruto's victory over Kiba, the next pair randomly appeared on the big screen at the top of the room-Uchiha Sasuke vs Hyuga Hinata!
Pooh!
Seeing this, Kakashi slapped his forehead with his hand and looked at Yeruashi, " What level has Hinata reached?»
Although Kakashi didn't pay much attention to Hinata's practice, but he understood that as a disciple of Yeruashi, Hinata definitely had to be very strong, in addition, he was aware of the inheritance of Hamura Ootsutsuki's chakra.
"Hmm...»
"Hinata? Sasuke can certainly beat her...»
"...if his Sharingan goes from two tomoe directly to Mangekyu.»
Yeruashi looked at Kakashi with a smirk.
Kakashi tilted his head slightly, "Actually, your battle with Kaguya was a great emotional boost, Sasuke now has three tomoes.»
"Really?»
Yeruashi looked at Kakashi in surprise.
Down below.
Sasuke jumped off the second-floor railing, landing gently on the landing, and stared at Hinata, who was standing in front of him.
Hyuga Hinata...
A student of the Hokage...
As Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke certainly knew that Hinata was a student of Yeruashi.
In fact, it wasn't a big secret in Konoha that the eldest son and daughter of the heads of the two strongest clans were students of Yeruashi.
People thought it was quite reasonable.
However.
Although it seemed reasonable to people who understood Konoha's political landscape at least a little, it didn't apply to Sasuke.
He didn't think that Hinata was worthy of standing on a par with his older brother!
Except that they are the eldest children of the clan heads and will most likely become the heads of their clans in the future, Hinata completely loses to Itachi in everything, including talent!
"Round seven, Hyuga Hinata vs. Uchiha Sasuke. Do you have any questions?»
Hayate looked at Sasuke and Hinata.
"No.»
"No.»
Sasuke and Hinata both answered at the same time.
After this Sasuke looked at Hinata and confidently said: "I fully understand why you were able to become Lord Hokage's disciple, and I don't think you can compare to my brother...but by defeating you, I may be able to earn the approval of Lord Hokage.»
Sasuke always sought to earn Itachi's approval, and facing Hinata, a student of Yeruashi's like Itachi, was exactly what he wanted the most!
This is the best opportunity to prove yourself!
Hearing Sasuke's words, the initially calm Hinata immediately clenched her small fists and looked at her opponent with incomparable seriousness.
"I'm sorry...»
"But I also intend to earn the teacher's approval, and I will never lose to you!»
Hinata didn't have a very aggressive attitude, she just thought that she couldn't disappoint the teacher, and tried to get his approval.
From the moment Hinata became a student of Yeruashi, her father always reminded her of this, and she worked tirelessly to gain the teacher's recognition.
Kakashi, who was standing at the railing of the third floor, shook his head helplessly and grumbled, looking at Sasuke below: "Why...why did you make her angry?!»
He seems to have become overconfident after waking up the three tomoes...
Perhaps Sasuke would have had a chance to defeat Hinata if she hadn't been so serious, but now Kakashi felt like he was already seeing the scene of Hinata beating Sasuke mercilessly.
After Hayate's words, Sasuke and Hinata simultaneously activated the Sharingan and Byakugan.
They stood about ten meters apart and stared into each other's eyes.
Phew!
Sasuke used Genjutsu!
Hinata exited Genjutsu with the help of a Byakugan enhanced by Hamura's chakra!
Phew!!
Sasuke decisively rushed forward!
Sasuke was thrown away by Hinata!
Crack!
Sasuke used Chidori!
Sasuke charged forward again!
"Strong Ryton...»
"In that case...»
Seeing Chidori and Sasuke's high speed, Hinata stopped holding back and resolutely released all of Hamura's chakra under her control.
With a powerful pulse of chakra, a web of small cracks appeared under Hinata's feet, spreading in all directions.
Eno, Sakura, and the others visibly staggered when faced with this chakra pulse, and opened their mouths in shock.
"Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!»
Phew!!
Hinata hit with her palm!
With a powerful flow of chakra, a large translucent palm print formed in the air!
Boom!
Sasuke's Chidori was destroyed!
Sasuke flew backwards and fell to the ground!
Sasuke was beaten up!
Sasuke began to doubt life!
«...»
Kakashi covered his eyes with his hand and shook his head helplessly.
